New Crested Geckos

[LauraS]

So cute! I love crested geckos. Enjoy them. I have nine.

Just a word of warning if you don't know yet... Sometimes the bigger ones will pick on the smaller ones when housed together. Are they both girls? It's hard to tell in the pictures. If not, be careful. Boys tend to fight and mixed sexes will give you eggs before the girl is big enough to pass eggs safely.

Thanks! So far they are a little shy but expected that. They are the cutest when they lick their own eyeballs. [emoji2]

They are in separate tanks, both have the same background. One tank is brand new and the other I got on Craigslist and it just happened to be the same one just a little older. Don't know the sex yet, they are only about 6-8 months old. If one is a female we may try and breed but that's a ways off.

Good! Sorry, I didn't want to come off like a snob. I just wanted to make sure you knew about the risks of cohabitation since you were new to them (and I thought it was the same enclosure).

They are fun creatures. Easy to breed too when it comes time for that. You got some pretty ones!

Finally able to snap some of them out and about...at least one of them. This one we named Arrow cause wife loves the show.







Harmony is the smaller one. She just shed for the first time since we had her like 10 minutes ago. You can barely see her watching me from her hide.

Yes, a little. They are too cute to be mad at lol .. maybe they will paint us a picture.

If i may ask, what do you recommend as the best method to weigh them? I just got my scale.

I have a food scale that I use to weigh them in grams. I just put a container or something for them to clime on on the scale and then set it to zero before putting my gecko on it. I know they don't always want to stand still. Good luck!
